Swedish DJ, music producer and philanthropist DJ Avicii, 28, has been laid to rest, two months after he committed suicide.

The disc jockey was buried in his hometown, Stockholm, Sweden.

It was gathered that Avicii was buried in a private ceremony which took place on Sunday at Skogskyrkogarden, a cemetery in Southern Stockholm.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, his family published an open letter about his personality and his life.

The letter read, “Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul who always carried great existential questions.

“An overperforming perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a tempo which led to extremely difficult stress.

“When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to feel good and be able to do what he loved the most – music.

“He truly battled thoughts about the Meaning, Life, Happiness.

“Now, he could not go on any more. He wanted peace.

“Tim was not made for the machinery he ended up in, he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans, but shunned the spotlight.

“Tim, you will forever be loved and missed. Who you were and your music will carry on the memory of you.

“We love you, the family.”
